“You’re trying to impress someone, aren’t you? Road asks, and he’s ten, but it’s not so much

impress

as it is that he wants-needs-to be

useful or else

he might get thrown away.

Dewey wouldn’t want a useless person, after all.

And without Dewey, Dominic is nothing.

He’s alone. It repeats

FFFFUUUUU /was going to Hornet this but sldakgjsdgkjsdklg ;w;

[Atsuro sits there in his room for a long time after Dominic's dream, a few pieces of the younger other boy falling into place. There are words he would like to say, but he's not quite sure how to say them. You're not alone, huh.

After a moment, Atsuro does pick up the Dreamberry and hit the reply button.]

You know, I'm really glad to have met you too, Dominic.

Hornet was part of the other 'acquaintances' Dominic was worried about :|

[unfearful]

[And even though you'd think he'd be used to it by now, Dominic doesn't know how to reply either. He's a bit red, as he smiles sheepishly.]

Ah... t-thank you. I hope you don't mind...

[Being part of the dream? Yeah, he has no idea what to say.]

-->[Action] | MAYBE LATER (when I'm done going ;w; over this okay)

[47_l0w]

Don't mind what?

[Anyway, Atsuro's picked up the Dreamberry and is down the hall. And Dominic may now hear some knocking on his door!]

It's Atsuro. Can I come in?

[Action] | Dominic will just go GDIT 8|

[unfearful]

[He looks up in surprise, but once he realizes who it is, he smiles lightly.]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Action] | BUT THIS IS TOO GOOD A CHANCE TO MISS.

[47_l0w]

[Atsuro walks in, stopping briefly by the door frame. There's an expression on his face that's halfway between a smile and maybe one that's not quite a smile but not something bad either.]

It felt kind of silly talking over the Dreamberries when you're just down the hall. [A sheepish laugh. An explanation.]

[Action] | HAAAATE

[unfearful]

[Gulliver simply stares at Atsuro from where it's lying on the bed, as Dominic continues stroking it gently.]

I-I guess it does, yeah...

[He gestures vaguely. There's a chair by the desk if Atsuro wants to sit.]

... Well, come on in?

[Action] | BUT IT'S ALL DOMINIC'S PRECIOUS PEOPLE LAID OUT AT ONCE =D

[47_l0w]

Thanks.

[He'll just be heading to that chair now and sitting down. He toys awkwardly with the USB cable from his watch for a few moments - even though he was the one who initiated conversation, he's not going to lie and say he's perfectly cool with situations like this. Lack of experience, really.]

Somarium's not all bad, huh.

[Action] | /BRB INVESTIGATING HORNET'S IDENTITY

[unfearful]

Yeah, it's really not...

[He smiles, still rather embarrassed.]

I'm really grateful for the chance to be here.

[Action] | GOOD LUCK HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT HIDING THAT =DDDD

[47_l0w]

Yeah, meeting everyone's kinda nice even if you know it's not gonna be forever. And hey, it's a break from everything else, right?

[Not that making friends in your own world is any real guarantee that they'll be around forever either - but he pushes that thought away.]

And... It's good to have friends here.

[Action] | DOMINIC'S A HARD WORKER :|||

[unfearful]

Well, I'm not sure if I'd call it a 'break' for me, but...

[What with him being dead and all.]

... Yeah. Anywhere, really.

[Action] | So's Hornet? 8D

[47_l0w]

[because I can't remember if he knows or not Atsuro is just going to misunderstand that.] Ah sorry, I guess it makes sense if you'd like to go home...

It'd be better if they didn't leave though, haha. [A pause.] I was wondering about... Vincent. What's going on between the two of you... if you're okay with talking about it.

[Action] | Is he listed as a Determinator in TV Tropes? :|

[unfearful]

[Don't think they have!

Not quite what he meant, but... while he doesn't have any real problems with talking about it, there's no point in bringing his death up.

....

He should've expected this, shouldn't he?]

... Have you ever spoken to him?

[Action] | I don't think he's on TV Tropes at all =(

[47_l0w]

I don't remember, but I don't think so... [To be honest, the question has been bothering him for quite some time.

He's almost scared to find out.]

[Action] | Ffff, well. +1 for Dominic.

[unfearful]

[He's silent as he stares at the ground, thinking, before he looks up and speaks again.]

... What will you do if I tell you?

[Will he ignore this all? Or will he still try to get involved anyway?]

[Action] | Low blow okay =| Hornet's still more 1337 h4xz okay.

[47_l0w]

[The question takes him aback for a moment.] What will I do?

[...What would he do?

After a moment:]

......

I don't know. [It's the honest answer.] That depends on what I can do. But if I can help, even if it's a little... I'd want to do everything I can.

[Action] | Dominic can pilot giant robots. C:

[unfearful]

And what if I don't tell you?

[... That's probably the more important one. Of course Atsuro would try to help if he knew... but if he didn't?]
